Its been more than one month, that my stomach hurts, I get hurt burn each time I eat, feel thick saliva in my throat throughout the day, and whenever I eat spicy food my stomach hurts really bad, and I have noticed a few times that when I barp acid like fluid has risen up my throat. My appointment with the doctor is not until June 2nd, so I even though I don't have an official diagnosis I would like to know what kind of foods, home remedies or teas have helped to ease the stomach pain? I am trying to avoid the spicy food, I don't drink soda, coffe or alcohol e.g. beeer..and I am trying to relax a bit more, because the past few months have been very stressful.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciate, because waiting and not knowing what I have is painful at times. Posted on 05/26/09, 10:05 pm |

I would agree with Minn. Making sure not to overeat is huge I think. Overeating can cause lots of gas and make the symptoms worse I think. It can be hard sometimes, I know for myself. I think I'm used to eating till I've overate and only eating till I'm full is almost odd for me :)
Also avoid smoking if you do that. I occasionally smoked cigars and those were awful for the gastritis.

I thought gastritis was like a stomach bug with vomittling and diarrhea? I guess I'm wrong. Last night I got out of class and stopped at the store. I remember feeling like something was sitting heavy/wrong on my stomach. I hadn't eaten since the morning and that was just a fiber bar. I come home, I'm hungry...right before I decide to get up and fix me something to eat this over whelming feeling of nausea and diarhrea came. Well I just vomitted. I threw up a lot and with nothin in the stomach, it was painful. The top of my stomach was hurting (under my diaphram) I felt weak and shaky after that. I went to bed and about 20 minutes later I was fine. What could that have been?

The top stomach pain/burning is a classic gastritis symptom. Whenever you cannot keep food down - or need to throw up - do so. It really helps. Your body is telling you it needs some space to heal. Fast for a day on water alone - and then start eating gentle foods like oatmeal, porridge etc. We all need a break from all the heavy, processed foods we eat. I just wish our culture had a regular fasting tradition that a lot of the eastern cultures do.
